Virgil J. Vogel (1918-1994) was an historian, socialist political organizer, activist and University of Chicago alumnus. Born in Keota, Iowa, Vogel attended Chicago State University (B.E., 1942) and University of Chicago (M.A. 1949, Ph.D. 1966). Vogel's academic research was in the field of Native American history and language. His dissertation American Indian Medicine was published by University of Oklahoma Press in 1970 and remains a definitive text in the field. He also published Indian Place Names of Illinois (1963); This Country Was Ours: A Documentary History of the American Indian (1972); Iowa Place Names of Indian Origin (1983); Indian Names in Michigan (1986); and Indian Names on Wisconsin's Map (1991).
By his late teens, Vogel was dedicating much of his energy toward political activism and organization, particularly within the Young People's Socialist League, where he held a succession of local and national offices, eventually becoming the national chairman. He was a longtime member of the Socialist Party, and played a leading role in many smaller socialist and radical organizations. Vogel's political essays, reviews and commentary were widely published in the leftist press from the 1930s-1950s, and he was instrumental in reviving the radical publisher Charles H. Kerr Company in the 1970s. While Vogel remained committed to the Socialist Party for most of his life, he was also sympathetic to the New Left and anti-war movements of the 1950s-1970s.
Vogel's teaching career reflected his commitment to social justice. From 1942-1967, he worked as an elementary and high school teach in Chicago public schools. He later taught in the City Colleges of Chicago system, developing some of the schools' earliest courses on minority history and ethnic studies. He taught Native American adult education courses, and was a lecturer on Native American medicine at University of Illinois-Chicago in 1983.
One of Vogel's allies was Benjamin Williger, a Socialist Party organizer based in Elmhurst, Illinois. Williger was an early member of YPSL, and went on to become influential in the Socialist Party, serving in state offices and on the National Action Committee and National Executive Committee. Williger ran for Illinois State Treasurer in 1936.
The Virgil J. Vogel Collection represents the political and social activities of Vogel and his associate Benjamin Williger. The two men's collections of material were interspersed over time. In general, Williger's contributions date from the 1910s-1950s. Vogel added his own collection of materials from the mid-1930s to the early 1980s. Both men's collections reflect their long involvement in the Socialist Party and many other left-wing organizations. The collection also contains personal papers of Virgil Vogel.
The collection is organized into eight series:
Series I: Virgil J. Vogel Papers, spans 1940-1977. The bulk of this series consists of manuscripts and proofs of his book This Country Was Ours: A Documentary History of the American Indian. Also included are manuscripts and clippings of writings for political publications, a bibliography on the history of American socialism, and teaching materials from his work in Chicago city colleges.
Series II: University of Chicago, documents leftist political activities at the university from 1944-1970. Materials were collected by Virgil Vogel, first in his role as a politically active student, and later as an alumnus who was attentive to campus political events. Earlier materials in this series represent a number of campus organizations that focused on issues such as labor, revolutionary movements, and civil liberties. Files from 1969-1970 pertain mainly to the 1969 student occupation of the Administration Building following the dismissal of Marlene Dixon, and the subsequent disciplinary proceedings. There is also a file on student participation in the 1970 National Student Strike, which was organized in response to the invasion of Cambodia and the killing of four students at Kent State University.
Series III: Socialist Party, contains records of the party known during the 20th century as the Socialist Party of America, the Socialist Party-Social Democratic Federation, and Socialist Party USA. These records span 1903-1978 and were collected by Benjamin Williger and Virgil Vogel through their activities with national, regional, state and local branches of the party.
Series IV: Young People's Socialist League, contains records of the youth group affiliated with the Socialist Party. These records were collected by Benjamin Williger and Virgil Vogel through their activities with national, regional, state and local branches of the party. Records span 1915-1961, and include important early documents of the early development of the Young People's Socialist League, from its launch in 1915, through the exit of the group's left wing faction in 1919, to reorganization in the early 1920s
Series V: Organizations, consists of Benjamin Williger and Virgil Vogel's collections of material from a wide variety of international, national and and local political and social organizations. The content of these materials addresses such issues as civil rights, civil liberties, community organization, labor organization, leftist and radical political organization, nuclear disarmament, and pacifism.Files span 1914-1980.
Series VI: Periodicals, contains periodicals collected by Benjamin Williger and Virgil Vogel. Many of these periodicals were published by organizations represented elsewhere in the collection, particularly the Socialist Party and the Young People's Socialist League. Files span 1932-1980 and are organized alphabetically.
Series VII: Subject Files, spans 1918-1979 and consists of files that document specific topics or individuals. Of note is a set of files relating to community organization in Elmhurst, Illinois; these were presumably collected by Elmhurst resident Benjamin Williger. There are also large aggregations of files on international political affairs, the New Left, and race and ethnicity.
Series VIII: Oversize, consists of oversize materials transferred from Series I-VII.

This series is organized into five subseries:
Subseries 1: National Conventions and Conferences, consists mainly of convention and conference proceedings. Proceedings include agendas, ballots, bulletins, constitutions, minutes, platforms, reports, resolutions, and statements. Also included are related ballots, correspondence, drafts and notes. Files span 1919-1978 and are arranged chronologically by event. Most files are on the party's national conventions and conferences, which were held annually or biannually. There are also files on one-time conferences held to address specific issues or events. Of note is a report from the 1919 Emergency National Convention, during which the party's Left Wing Section split to form the Communist Labor Party of America.
Subseries 2: National Committees, contains agendas, broadsides, bulletins, correspondence, minutes, reports, resolutions, and statements. Files span 1938-1979 and are organized alphabetically by committee name.

Series V: Organizations |
This series consists of Benjamin Williger and Virgil Vogel's collections of material from a wide variety of international, national and and local political and social organizations. The content of these materials addresses such issues as civil rights, civil liberties, community organization, labor organization, leftist and radical political organization, nuclear disarmament, and pacifism.
Files span 1914-1980 and are arranged alphabetically. Materials include announcements, annual reports, broadsides, bulletins, circulars, pamphlets, periodicals, reports, and statements. Most files contain only one or a few items; however, there are substantial files on the Black Panther Party, the Campaign for Youth Needs, the Chicago Peace Council, the Committee for Nonviolent Revolution, Industrial Workers of the World, Students for a Democratic Society, the War Resisters League, and the Workers Defense League. Particularly well-represented in this series are socialist and communist movements of the 1930s-1940s, the New Left movement, and Chicago-area social and political organizations. Also of note is a collage portfolio produced by the National Urban League to commemorate the 1963 March on Washington.
Records of the Socialist Party and the Young People's Socialist League are in Series III and IV. Additional records of political and social organizations are in Series VI and VII. Oversize materials have been transferred to Series VIII: Subseries 5; included are early organizational materials from the Continental Congress of Workers and Farmers for Economic Reconstruction, a Marxist labor group organized by the Socialist Party.

Series VII: Subject Files |
This series consists of files that document specific topics or individuals. Files span 1918-1979 and are arranged alphabetically. Materials include broadsides, circulars, clippings, monographs, organizational constitutions and by-laws, pamphlets, periodicals, reprints, and transcripts. Of note is a set of files relating to community organization in Elmhurst, Illinois; these were presumably collected by Elmhurst resident Benjamin Williger. There are also large aggregations of files on international political affairs, the New Left, and race and ethnicity. Many of the files on race and ethnicity apparently pertain to Vogel's teaching and research on ethnic minorities in Chicago. One unusual item is a circa 1920s pamphlet promoting the so-called "convict ship" Success.
Oversize material has been transferred to Series VIII: Subseries 7. Most oversize material consists of newspapers and clippings. Of note are broadsides related to the White City Roller Rink protest, Maynard Krueger's 1948 Congressional campaign, and the Black Panther Party. Also included are materials from Vogel's teaching on race and ethnicity.
